coolohohWell I think it is all over LJ now. But if you've still not heard the news, here it is.
Someone has made a website: http://fanfic-journal.com/ that is using a bot to search the web for fanfics (from all kinds of fandom) and the entire fic post is being reposted on that website, without permission, so even so much as a squeak to inform the writers. This is absolutely intolerable.
As far as I can discern, the only thing we can do is...
1) Use the search field to see if your fics have been reposted there. Search your username, fic titles etc.
2) Leave a complain here http://fanfic-journal.com/complain-here/
I would seriously want to get that site shutdown. Stealing people's work like this. I don't even see the point for having such a site.
